What with app development? Can I use Dart/Flutter there? What tools are used for app development? Is there a compatibility layer or something similar to adb?

Like other commenters said, it's just Linux so you can do pretty much anything.

For Qt, the current stack seems to be Kirigami, which is KDE's library for convergent apps. There's also the Mauikit framework, which is built on top of Kirigami (I don't know enough to know the exact differences).

For Gtk, it's libhandy, which adds a few widgets for convergent apps.

It looks like Flutter doesn't support ARM yet, I found this after a quick search: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60678

There's also a few Electron/Webkit-based apps (especially for UBPorts), which is a nice temporary solution to get an app on the device while there isn't yet a native equivalent.

Have a look at https://mauikit.org/ and https://develop.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/ - the main tech stack there is Qt
It's Linux with KDE. You can use almost anything.
